I just watched THIS episode of Impossible Engineering about an amazing Chinese Bridge. Well worth a watch, but if you have a fear of heights you might find it a bit scary in places. I'm not sure that I would feel happy even crossing it - it is so high above the gorge below that the new World Trade Centre (Center!) building would fit under it! :eek:

Absolutely incredible engineering. I am going to start watching the other programmes On Demand. I love documentaries about complex engineering projects.

:hello: Good morning folks, woke at four needing a P and can't get back to sleep, I'll try again about six. Eldest lad goes back this afternoon, its been nice seeing him, last time we saw him was July, but I think the biscuit barrel and the cake tin will be glad he's going. :laugh:

Good morning fellow retirees,
First coffee of the day has brewed, just need to let it cool down a bit. Mrs Tenkay drinks her coffee scalding hot, where I let mine cool. Nothing planned for the day, must get my act together as 1st February will be the 40th anniversary of taking up running and I’d like to mark it in some way 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Not surprised you couldn't get back to sleep.
You woke for a P but don't mention actually getting out of bed for it :rolleyes:
Must have been a soggy couple of hours for you.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. What a night. Torrential rain and high winds. Stuff in the garden was being blown around a bit. We had a power cut as well. Only lasted about 10 minutes.

Stay safe folks:hello:

What a night that was:eek: Howling wind and heavy rain.
Just had a terrific hail n rain storm.....so loud it completely drowned out the radio.
Rain is on for the day.... ... another chill day of tv sport is forced upon me ^_^.
Mo.... well done again. So easy to duck out in this weather..... BUT do take care. I know from experience that if your feet go you have no time to react.......i have a few years on you but we do stop 'bouncing' as we get older:wacko:

Looks calm enough just now and it is not raining but Calmac are putting out warnings of disruption to services due to weather. There are also snow warnings out for the next couple of days. Still dark but a large bulk carrier and a small cargo boat heading down the Sound. Seaborne traffic never stops.
Breakfast and then get the stove fired up.
